Federalist 4 Lyrics

In seventeen eighty-seven John Jay wrote so clear

Words to shape a nation free from strife and fear

Federalist Number Four a message strong and true

To guide our fledgling country to see it through and through

He spoke of foreign dangers and conflicts far and wide

Of enemies who'd seek to break our nation's pride

Jay warned of disunity and the risks it would bring

A nation strong and united could withstand anything

Federalist Four oh Federalist Four

John Jay's wisdom a vision to explore

A call for unity to stand as one

Together we'll prosper under the sun

He wrote of common interests of bonds we need to keep

Of how a unified front would make our defenses steep

In a world of shifting powers and ambitions all around

A united federation would keep us safe and sound

No cap on God his message still rings true

A vision for a country to see us through and through

With wisdom from the past we build a brighter day

United in our purpose together we will stay

Federalist Four oh Federalist Four

John Jay's wisdom a vision to explore

A call for unity to stand as one

Together we'll prosper under the sun

So listen to John Jay from centuries ago

His Federalist Number Four a guide to help us grow

For in these words of wisdom a future bright and free

A nation strong and mighty for all eternity

Remember John Jay's counsel his wisdom and his might

In Federalist Number Four he showed the path to light

A call for unity to keep our land so grand

United we will stand hand in hand
